Final scenario

The final scenario will consist of a controlled environment where the software will be tested. The environement will consist of a square area of operations (AO) bordered by a white line. Inside this AO several sizes and masses of material will be placed in groups. Using the software a number of freeduino based robots will be given the task to clear the AO by moving the materials to a specific part of the AO - the clear zone (CZ). As some materials can not be moved with only one of the robots cooperation is needed, therefore testing the swarm behaviour software. The main idea can be seen in the figures below:

Example overview of the test case with Area of Operation (AO), Clear Zone (CZ) and three piles.

Example of what pile 1 might look like. The numbers in the blocks indicate the number of robots necessary to move the block.

• The green shapes indicate pieces of material, the number inside shows how much robots are needed to move it outside of the box.
• The yellow shapes indicate obstacles which can't be moved, and therefore have to be evaded.
• The blue shapes indicate the piles (groups) of material
